Repeat previous step to create the following domains with all the default settings. To keep the tutorial simple, you set the Data Type of all the domains as String. The other allowed data types are: Integer, Decimal, and Date. When the Use Leading Values option is selected (default), all synonyms are replaced with the leading value of the synonym group in the output. Setting Normalize String option (default) removes any special characters in the domain values. The Format Output to option lets you select the formatting that is applied when the data values in the domain are output. Select Enable Speller (default) to run Speller on all string values when populating the domain. The Language setting specifies which language version of the Speller you want to apply. Select Disable Syntax Error Algorithms to populate the domain without checking string values for syntax errors. See Create a Domain topic in the MSDN library for more details.
